I have an ACER Travelmate 2410 laptop computer which has the dvd player set to region2. I have used up my 5 switches of region allowed and can now not play a region4 dvd that I want to. Is there any way of unlocking the dvd player to play multi region dvds?

To change the Region code on your DVD player, open Control Panel - System - Hardware - Device manager, and click on DVD/CD ROM drives, then right click on the DVD drive and click Properties then click on DVD Region. You can enter a new region and it also shows you how many changes have been made. NOTE you can make only 4 changes and the player will lock permanently on the 4th change. If you want to play DVDs from any region you maybe able to upgrade the firmware to make it region free BUT if you make a mistake or installed the wrong firmware the player will be a piece of junk. The best solution to make the player region free is to install a piece of software (Passkey for DVD) that allows you to play DVDs from any region and Passkey for Blu-ray that allows you to play Blu-rays from any region. There are several available on the Internet but my favourite is DVD-Region Free From: -www.dvdfab.com/products,free.htm

One you have run out of changes then you may be able to upgrade the firmware to make the player Region Free, but if you make a mistake the phe player is a piece of junk.The best solution is use a region free software, please click on this link for region free programs :-

Important Note!:
You can only change your region !!! 5 !!!! times!
that is 5 times!
I am totally stressing this.....5 times!

You may have to do this a second time so your computer locks on to this region code.
If you watch an american blu-ray vid, on the fifth change of the region code your computer locks to this region !FOREVER!

Here, click the plus sign next to "DVD/CD-ROM Drives"Double Click your Disk Drive (you can also Right click and then click properties)Click on the "DVD Region" Tab.on the list, click "United States"click "OK"If it asks you to restart, accept.

After restart, check that its still Region one by following the previous steps.
